Sweet Holy Jesus. 28 men 0 women to organize COP29 🤯. Calling Mary Robinson of @TheElders, there's another sultan-type we need you to have a word with
The president of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, has just signed a "decree" establishing an "organisational committee" for COP29, which the nation is hosting later this year.
The committee features...
Men: 28
Women: 0

The wild celebration of the inclusion of "transitioning away from fosil fuel" in COP28 text is largely misplaced. While symbolical, it is political economy and NOT COP texts that will shape the action of states and companies. We need more than words to fight climate change.

Lest we forget: #1o5 in the #ParisAgreement is not a goal to achieve, but a threshold to avoid. The speed with which the planet has begun to flirt with 1.5C raises the alarm louder for more action & support on #mitigation #adaptation & #lossanddamage washingtonpost.com/climate-e…

Loud round of applause for Colombia Environment Minister @susanamuhamad at #COP28, calling for a fossil fuel phase out, reiterating #1o5 is not a goal but a limit. As 5th largest coal exporter, Colombia needs to transition and economic system should change to support this 👏

📢 Activists from all around the globe gather at #COP28 to #EndFossilFuels.
